Freepers are giggling over TN church shooting

[SoxFan]

It was probably a mini-rally for The Obamassiah and they were singing "The sun will come out tomorrow ....". Otherwise, a musical about a poor orphan (Annie) who is befriended by a rich capitalist (Daddy Warbucks), doesn't really fit the UU agenda. Now maybe, if there were a lesbian relationship between Annie and Mommy Warbucks or Annie got pregnant and had to get raise money for an abortion, that would be truly a part of the UU world view.

You don’t know many Unitarians do you? It’s a “progressive” church. They probably had The Vagina Monologues scheduled for the evening service. Prayers up for the injured.

Unitarians are basically Star Wars fans. They believe that there is a god force that all souls are part. Read Emerson’s “The Oversoul” if you want to understand more about Unitarians.

This is why there was a loaded Glock concealed beneath my sport coat this morning, and every morning I am at church. Oh, and an extra clip in case they’re fat or I miss.

Unitarian Universalism is a liberal religion with Jewish-Christian roots. It has no creed. It affirms the worth of human beings, advocates freedom of belief and the search for advancing truth, and tries to provide a warm, open, supportive community for people who believe that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion.”

In other words, a NEW AGE church.

What do you expect? God is NOT in the center of this church. Human beings are.

1. What a great time to put down another church.

:sarcasm:

[napoleon_in_rags]

20. Disgusting, isn't it?

Also a great time to remind the dumb freep who was saying this happened because "God is not the center of this church" about the shootings in Colorado Springs, at a church which was a conservative as hell. Besides that I would watch the vain comments about God protecting the asses of the holy, that's not what history shows:

[applegrove]

26. Yup.

[jobycom]

2. With Christians like that, who needs Satan?

[GreenPartyVoter]

28. And that is the sad truth

[helderheid]

32. BRAVO

:applause:

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. Why do you bother...

With trash like that? These are the people who pick their boogers and eat them.

[TheMightyFavog]

12. Hey!!!

Don't be insulting to people who pick their boogers and eat them by calling them Freepers.

[mloutre]

4. jeebus, what truly sick fucktards!!

[bluestateguy]

5. And there you have it

Any church that is not Southern Baptist, white, racist, homophobic, sexist and fundamentalist is simply not legitimate.

[tsuki]

7. You forgot misogynistic. nt

[bronxiteforever]

6. Lack of empathy is the closest way of describing evil-

how one can turn a mass shooting into a way to laugh at people is beyond me
a quote from the newest article
"Kemper tried to comfort a little boy whose mother had been shot in the head. She said there was a handprint of blood on the back of the boys's shirt."

[Peregrine Took]

8. The vile freeps were making fun of a dog being put in a washing machine

last night. That was the last straw from me - never going into that human toilet again.

[Taverner]

9. I just don't get this whole thing

I'm calling tomorrow to see where I can send cash.

[Demeter]

10. Well, The Unitarians Are Profoundly Not Freepers, So They Got Their Fondest Wish

Because we all know that Unitarians will not fight back with bullets, they are safe targets for the emotionally imbalanced and morally rotten.

[Fire Walk With Me]

11. "community for people who believe that ethical living is the supreme witness of religion"

If religion and ethics are God-given rules for people to live by, then God is the heart of the church, and the people seeking to together live those rules.

:shrug:

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Some things never change.

Even though it's a work of fiction, in Sinclair Lewis' Elmer Gantry, the Unitarian minister is set upon by a mob, losing one eye in the assault. Just because he was a Unitarian.

[benEzra]

14. That's messed up. (n/t)

[Submariner]

15. Conservatism is a mental illness. Plain and simple.

The freeptards and their fellow neocon cowards need intensive treatment.

[muntrv]

16. Any church that doesn't have people rolling on the floor speaking in tongues

is not a Christian church in freeperville.

[baby_mouse]

38. Speaking in tongues is a cult building tool, nothing more.

When you stick a bunch of people together and get them to do something embarassing they automatically form a social bond and start filling in the gaps of what the thing's for themselves. Anyone outside doesn't "get it". It's mild brainwashing.

[spanone]

17. these poor sick bastards probably call themselves christians....Jesus wept

[mcg]

40. ...

[Ahpook]

18. Well, i wonder if they have one less person posting today?

Unless he can post from jail?

The hatreds are starting to get to me.

When things like this happen, the nutters go in a feeding frenzy.

[Contrary1]

19. Evidently, God was NOT in the center of these churches either...

Or maybe it was His day off.

December 9, 2007: A gunman opened fire at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, killing two people and injuring three others before he was shot and killed by a church security officer.

21. God forgive me, but I fucking hate freepers.

[HughMoran]

22. This is why I consider myself a UU a heart

There are many UU churches in old NE towns that outdate many of the "newer" churches. Good enough for our founding fathers, good enough for me. Freepers are just jealous as usual.

[TommyO]

27. If I had to identify with any one church, it would be UU

In fact, I have attended a number of services at the local UU church, and have already checked for local UU congregations to attend after my move to NJ later this year.

[Pushed To The Left]

23. Free Republic sometimes makes Stormfront (racist messageboard) look downright tame!

I sometimes read right-wing or racist messageboards just out of morbid curiosity or to see what the opposition is saying. It appears that the religious right can give the racists a run for their money when it comes to hate.

[Chulanowa]

37. Because Stormfront actually has pretty strong moderation going on

The crazy racists don't want to look crazy. Apparently, Freepertown has no such fig leaf.

[VOX]

24. I don't want to hate anyone, but freepers make it too goddamned easy.

In these freeper's truly fucked-up view of things, I suppose the UU people had it coming because of their beliefs. You know, not enough this, or too much of that.

What makes me so fucking angry is how freepers love to put out yards of window dressing about freedom, patriotism, and everything red-white-and-blue, but in truth, their intolerance is overwhelming and prodigious, and they stand smack in the way of any meaningful progress on any front.

Worse, they have been a force pulling things *backwards*, with all their fear, suspicion and hatred.

May they reap what they sow.

[proud patriot]

25. freepers are SICKOS

x(

[FloridaJudy]

29. {{{{{{{{{sigh}}}}}}}}}

What terrible wastes of a human incarnation.

I plan on attending the memorial services at my own UU church tonight. I'll pray for the freepers' eventual enlightenment, though I suspect that's not going to happen real soon.

[lolly]

30. Logic is inpenetrable

They deserved to have this happen because they weren't Christian (that's what they really mean when they say G-d wasn't at the center of their world) and were therefore evil--but the man who opened fire on a group of families at a children's play, as it turns out, was "Christian." And they think this makes sense?


btw, I was married in a Unitarian/Universalist church. Very nice place to get married. You write your own ceremony, since they don't have a set, required formulation.

[azmouse]

31. Not much Christian feeling in Freepers, is there?

[codjh9]

33. Uh, I'd call 'em 'Christians', people - as in, Christians in Name Only

[liberal1973]

34. Hmm..interesting

Everybody has just witnessed a Neo-nazi republican kill people ,and the person happens to be the same type as that over at freeper.com.

The freeper who killed and attempted to kill was/is a lowlife like those over at freeper.com. Like those who listen to rush limpballs and watch fixed news. They're the party of followers and the special interest.

As said before good riddance to this freeper in Tennessee. The freeper won't be out on the streets anymore.

[Arrowhead2k1]

35. They sound just like some Muslim extremist,

It's sickening...

[LaPera]

36. No doube he's a listener of republican hate radio, Limbaugh Hannity, etc while driving his rig!!

[Mike Daniels]

39. They stopped laughing once they heard about his manifesto

and it became apparent that the guy was going to be pegged as some right-wing gun-lover who had listened to Limbaugh and Hannity spew their claptrap.

Couldn't happen to a "nicer" bunch of people.

[RB TexLa]

43. When they found that out, they had to start typing with one hand

[samsingh]

41. that puts a lie to freepers saying they are Christians

an attack in any Church should horrify them if they truly believed in God and being good Christians.

[izzybeans]

42. Sounds like a terrorist training camp.

[margotb822]

44. Well, so much for

freedom of religion. Wow, just wow!
